In our body's musculoskeletal system, Fascia (Fasciae), a layer of fibrous tissue that surrounds muscles, muscle groups, blood vessels, and nerves, which is virtually inseparable from all body structures and acts to create continuity amongst tissues to enhance function and support. In our body, Fascia (Fasciae) is an innervated, continuous, functional organ of stability and motion formed by 3-dimensional collagen matrices, which may be classified as linking fasciae, fascicular fasciae, compression fasciae, separating fasciae,
